After searching through many condos, hotels, houses in the Orlando area, the pictures, reviews and price for our week stay in this villa made our decision easier. The house is spotless, comfortable (although we are not fans of firm mattresses), we were happy with the entire accommodation. Jean was very helpful, she responded quickly to all my inquiries. We felt secured in the neighborhood, grocery store (Publix) and restaurants are nearby. Disney World and other attractions are not too far and glad we didn't stay in theme park area, it felt like "home away from home". We recommend this villa to any family who wants comfort, security, easy access to theme parks and other attractions for a very reasonable price.

My husband and I choose to come back to Florida for a relaxing holiday and picked this villa. We had stayed in the same development before so knew the area.

From the initial query right through, jean is a pleasure to deal with. Extremely helpful and pleasant which is always brilliant.

After a very long journey we arrived to the villa. The instructions jean have is before arriving were brilliant.

The villa is in a lovely development in davenport - I wouldn't go anywhere else. It is well taken care of and you feel very secure.

The property was very well maintained and the management company were lovely too when they cleaned the pool chatting away, really makes a difference.

My husband was unwell for 6 days during the holiday and the villa was that nice that we didn't mind having to sit about in it.

We went and done a large shop in nearby publix as there is a fantastic cooker and microwave along with every kitchen utensil. Lovely table and informal table to sit at also. Would recommend doing so to save money.

Very comfortable tv area with cable tv - we literally lay there for hours!! The main bedroom was very large and very very clean! The bed was sooo comfy!! The bathroom was very clean too and helpfully came with a hairdryer! Massive separate dressing room and separate toilet. There was another large guest double with en suite and door out to pool and two other rooms with two single beds in each - we didn't use these but great for large families!

The pool area was soo clean too and the water was lovely!! Lay out for hours but the sun reflected off my Irish skin without a tan! Ah well!!

I cannot recommend this villa enough!! So handy to any theme park and there is soo much nearby! There is a walgreens and publix and lots of eateries nearby! I honestly wouldn't suggest anywhere else and can't speak more highly of this villa.

Only downside....we had to come home :-)

The villa is situated in The Shire in Westhaven. This is in the Champions Gate area. There is a Publix Supermarket, Chemist, McD's, Chillis Restaurant, Dominos and Subway all within 5 mins drive. It is an upmarket, safe area which is very handy and close to the Disney parks.

The villa itself is luxurious and spotlessly clean. The furniture is of a high quality. The beds are especially comfortable. My hubbie normally does not sleep well on hols but slept like a log in this bed! It is well equipped and had everything we needed.For us the highlight of the villa was the pool and spa. This was where we spent most of our time. It is beautiful and not overlooked. The neighbouring villas do not "feel" on top of you and you have your privacy. The pool was cleaned every Saturday.The owner Jean was a pleasure to deal with. She could not do enough for us. She was very prompt to answer emails. This was our 3rd time to stay in a villa in Florida and this particular villa was the best by a mile.We very much hope to return to it and I have already recommended it to family and friends.

Just back from a 14 day break at "the Shire" the owner Jean's Villa and it was even better than the pictures show.

The accommodation is in excellent condition with a great kitchen if you get fed up of eating out. The big plus for us was the washing machine and tumble dryer, its the first holiday we have come back with no dirty washing!!

Bedrooms were great too, we had 8 adults and we found their was plenty of room.

Pool is not the biggest but ideal for relaxing in after a day at the parks, pool guy came twice when we were there and had some good tips for parks and local area.

We found the location of Davenport very handy for most things and would go back to this villa the next time we go to Florida.

I have already recommended it to friends since we came home as I was so impressed by this accommodation.

We also found the pool table handy for late night competitions, the complex also has an second community pool that has Volleyball and Table Tennis at it, which we again made the most of.

The owner Jean was fantastic in answering any questions we had before going and very prompt in returning our security deposit on returning.

I have no hesitation in recommending this Villa for a holiday, you will not be disappointed.
